Study system in the institute
The institute adopts the credit hours
system, which gives the student the opportunity to study at his own pace &
his/her own abilities. Unlike the usual fixed format teaching being fo11owed by
Egyptian universities, the credit-hour system enables the student to select a
number of courses from a well - planned academic program.
The program
provides a variety of courses some of which are geared to a specific major, some
are general and cultural in nature the rest are electives to enhance one's
major. The system ensures that the slow learner does net hold back the advanced
student. The advanced student is permitted to choose more courses and when
he/she fulfills the requirements of the degree, he/she may graduate earlier than
other students. Each student is assigned an academic advisor who guides him/her
in planning his/her study program, monitor his progress, and help solve any
problems he/she may encounter. The system encourages the student to develop
independent thinking, gives him/her enough time to widen his scope of interest,
and trains him/her to search for information through the use of the library and
other learning facilities.
Assessment of a student's work is done
regularly on a daily or weekly basis throughout the semester. He/she is given
thorough homework tests mid term examination, he/she may be asked to write a
term paper, and sit through final examinations. This will enable the student to
learn faster and the teacher to judge his/her work.
Properly and
objectively. According to the credit hour system, a student is permitted to
repeat any course in which he/she scores a low grade to improve his overall
average.
At HTI, a student may study for a diploma or a bachelor's
degree depending on the program he selects. To earn an engineering diploma
he/she should complete 120-credit hours, which requires at least about three
year of study. If he/she wants to fulfill the requirements of a B.Sc in
engineering in one of the majors offered, then he/she has to complete an
additional 80 credit hours, which require about two more years of academic
study. The academic year is divided into three semesters. The first two
semesters are academic instruction - 15 weeps each, and the third is devoted to
practical training -10 weeks, at one of the factories or project sites at Tenth
of Ramadan City, the Sixth of October City, and other locations throughout Egypt
or abroad. Practical training is done under the supervision of academic staff.
Such a program combines academic class work with technology, a combination that
is needed in Egypt and in the Arab World. A student may also select a Technology
Management and Information program or Computer Science program. To get a diploma
he/she must complete 80 credit units. For a Bachelor's degree he/she has to
finish an additional 80 credit hours. Like engineering students a technology
management student or computer Science student must complete two academic
semesters per year and a third one will be devoted to practical training. |
